On this episode of Thick & Thin I discuss the Mao Zed Zedong and his impact on the communist movement, and why he's not as bad as some people think he is. I also talk about the recent ban from social media by the Department of Justice, and how it might not be so bad in the long-term. Also, I talk about why I don't really care about social media anymore and why it's a bad idea to have a social media account. I mean, if you're a parent, and you don't care about the time you looked super hot in that selfie, then you're not a bad parent, right? I guess we'll just have to wait and see if it sticks around in the public eye for a while, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a good one. If not, I'm sure you'll agree that it's time to get your social media accounts up and running! Tweet me and let me know what you thought of this episode!

00:00:17.000Actually, it's not about the numbers, because Hitler killed 6 million, but communism has way more dead bodies behind it, and there's no stigma whatsoever with communism.
00:01:59.000Hitler is a bad guy, just to be clear here, folks.
00:02:03.000But it's funny how they can call everyone else literally Hitler and then literally have Che Guevara on his shirt who literally shot thousands of people in the head and loved every minute of it.
00:02:16.000And those people included gays that he didn't like, he was racist, and anyone who seemed like a threat to the new regime.
00:02:57.000You know, cyber censorship, and big tech getting in bed with the DNC, and making up the word Nazi, and then... See, they make you a straw man, they say you're a Nazi, and violent hate group, and then they say, well, you're banned for being in a violent hate group.
00:03:10.000And you go, but that's not me, that's your straw man you invented.
00:03:13.000And they go, take it up with the straw man.
00:03:15.000And it's kind of a smart way to mess with someone.
00:03:19.000Because you make the straw man, and then you punish the straw man.
00:03:24.000Now you're two steps away from justice.
00:03:26.000First you have to prove you're not the straw man, and then you have to get all your stuff back.
00:05:13.000But definitely the caravan and me, this was all premeditated.
00:05:15.000And I'm obviously not saying I'm in the same category as something as massive as the caravan, but there's lots of shit going on at once here.
00:05:41.000And this guy Chadwick Moore came up with jobs, not mobs.
00:05:46.000And the president tweeted it out and now we're the mobs party.
00:05:51.000Yeah, but we have been employing Antifa and making them do stuff and employing these radicals to mess with people and throw and attack MAGA hats and all this stuff.
00:06:54.000Because I'm not allowed in the clubs anymore.
00:07:00.000Then they vandalize the venue the night before, sorry to repeat all this.
00:07:04.000And then, I talked about this already, you look at these well-made signs, beautiful signs, and then Antifa's told to leave, they come back, they pick a fight, they knock guys down, you can see them in the video, this is the part I don't get.
00:08:49.000And they've got their story, and now my family's threatened, and all this stuff, and, you know, they've made me a- a villain overnight.
00:08:56.000Now, that's not just a normal news cycle.
00:09:00.000Especially when it just kept going and going and death threats.
00:09:03.000You know, Antifa had doxed my phone number, gave my phone number all over the place, my address, you know, my place of work.
00:09:12.000Going to other places of work, the guys who were arrested, attacking their places of work.
00:09:17.000I mean, just like... Every time I would go take a shower, I'd go check my phone after showering, there'd be like four new major things going down.
00:09:27.000That doesn't seem a little contrived to you?
00:09:29.000Especially when... You can see, like, 10,000 hours of my content online.
00:09:37.000And you can see exactly, um... You can see exactly how I feel about things.
00:09:42.000I'm obviously not a white nationalist.
00:09:43.000And then I'd go a little further than that, by the way.
00:11:06.000I don't think these people really believe this.
00:11:09.000I mean, I feel like if you get three glasses of wine in them and they're alone in their house and they're having some brie, you'd go, so you really think that guy's a white nationalist?
00:11:26.000And here's where it gets sinister, by the way.
00:11:29.000So, I don't believe this caravan is organic.
00:11:32.000I don't believe that, what is it, 2,000 people, 3,000 people just go, hey man, do you want to get together and walk up all of Central America?
00:11:42.000Maybe rent some 18-wheelers for the long parts and maybe walk for a bit and maybe have a party sometimes.
00:11:48.000All well-dressed, happily with kids, waving flags.
00:12:11.000And they don't really want kids to die, but gotta be honest, having a four-year-old Mexican boy face down dead in the dirt with an ice guy standing over him, that gets us the House and the Senate.
00:12:26.000I know it's horrible, but that's just collateral damage.
00:15:08.000We're just saying that because it looks good.
00:15:11.000I mean, the fact that they used this synagogue killing... They went to the Manhattan Republican Club and a bunch of Antifa-wearing yamakas went down there and said, We reject white nationalism and the GOP has to come down here and reject white nationalism.
00:15:44.000What about all the Israelis who love Trump?
00:15:46.000What about his fucking daughter, you fools?
00:15:52.000I think at one point there, maybe it was last year,
00:15:56.000Every adult offspring of his, not including Barron, not an adult, he's not an adult, was married to or dating a Jewish person.
00:16:04.000He moved the embassy to Jerusalem and you're there saying Republicans embrace white nationalism, white nationalism, white... I don't think it exists.
00:16:17.000Like the KKK, they get together in a meeting, they barely fill a living room.
00:17:02.000Because that's all they do outside of video games.
00:17:06.000You know, Ryan Katsu Rivera, when he comes up to stay at my place, like when we did that Halloween special, every moment he's not working, he's on his phone.
00:17:15.000Or he will be at a bar, and I'm not criticizing Ryan, by the way, this is his generation, will be at a bar, and he'll just, I'll be talking to him, and he'll just start scrolling through Facebook.
00:17:25.000He goes, oh, I'm just checking Facebook.
00:17:27.000I go, that's like pulling out a magazine when you're talking to someone.
00:17:31.000Your phone should never leave your pocket when you're in a bar unless you get a call from your wife and you have to run out so she can't hear that you're in a bar again.
00:17:41.000I'm gonna do a whole podcast on how I'm gay for men.
00:20:26.000And he has this black preacher kind of a tone where there's a lot of lists like, Once we were brought here, we were robbed of our name, we lost our religion, our language, our gods.
00:21:50.000And the other thing they have in common is they want maximum carnage, which is basically the same trait.
00:21:56.000So, I want to end my life, but I want to be famous, and I want to... That's why they did Sandy Hook, because it was little kids, so there'll be more coverage.
00:22:04.000I want as much coverage and as much death as possible.
00:22:10.000Every time I do an argument, I assume the character saying it.
00:22:16.000So you just take all these out of context, as the left loves to do.
00:22:19.000And now you got me, you know, confessing to mass killings.
00:22:22.000But, um, yeah, 90% of the time it is, uh, I'm suicidal and I want maximum carnage.
00:22:31.000Now there's some Venn diagrams here because it's not going to add up to 100, but 11% of the time it's religiously motivated and that's Islam.
00:23:04.000The left, maybe accidentally, I don't know, but the left killed math in that it used to be a very important part of your education and now with new math it's different and it's less stressed and it's not as mandatory when you get to college and it's definitely played down.
00:23:22.000Like when my dad was a kid, English and the other subjects weren't really, you know, mandatory.
00:26:37.000And, uh, who knows, who knows, you know, my, my, my unit, you know, where I stand, I, uh, I don't like the guy and I think he's bad for America.
00:27:01.000So he's talking about those two black people that were shot by a racist.
00:27:06.000One of the most horrific things to happen this year.
00:27:24.000Just horrible, unthinkable, that two people, just because they're black, are sitting there and they're going to die.
00:27:30.000But there are about 20 black homicides a day.
00:27:37.000Approximately 100% of them are black-on-black violence.
00:27:42.000And there's a... Heather MacDonald wrote a great article about this for the Post, and it was last year.
00:27:49.000All that kneeling ignores the real cause of soaring black homicides and she breaks down with FBI stats that there's been an increase in black homicides and it's up to almost 8,000 now.
00:28:08.000She says there was about just over 200 blacks killed by cops.
00:28:16.000I think in that one year, last year or something, 2015.
00:28:19.000Of those, most of them were armed and it was a dangerous, violent situation.
00:28:26.000Even when they say unarmed, it's often the guy's driving at a cop with a car or something like that.
00:28:31.000Or his gun fell from his hand as he was shooting.
00:28:33.000So when you filter out all of that stuff, you get down to like... Well, when I did my research, I ended up with about six or seven horrible cases where a cop
00:28:45.000Totally shirked his duty and murdered a black man.
00:28:48.000But in all of those cases, those cops were in jail.
00:28:52.000You know, they always talk about, I think it was Abner Louima who had that plunger or broomstick shoved up his ass.
00:29:32.000But to take those- see, it's just like the synagogue.
00:29:34.000I mean, he's doing it- he's doing both at the same time.
00:29:36.000He's taking that horrible murder of those two people and making it about Trump, totally ignoring the math of black homicide, and then he's taking the synagogue murder and also making that about Trump, just to win the election.
00:29:50.000And the only thing I'm left asking is, how much of this do you actually believe?
00:29:55.000It's sort of like when Kim Jong Il, the one who's dead, when he died, I was watching the TV like an inch from the screen because I saw everyone crying, but I wanted to see if I could see real tears because I still don't know how much North Koreans believe all this propaganda.
00:30:24.000Or are they really sad that the dictator who was torturing them...
00:30:29.000By the way, this is about to get a lot crazier.
00:30:52.000I'm not willing, I can't disagree with that unfortunately, sad as it is, but I'm not willing to let white voters off the hook.
00:30:59.000I think that they, like the rest of us, should be treated as adults.
00:31:02.000And I think that there are a large number, I would say a majority, of white Americans in this country who are not just Democrats, but who are...
00:31:09.000Can you imagine saying this after Obama was elected?
00:31:12.000I am not prepared to let black people off the hook.
00:32:08.000Why don't you take out a piece of paper right now and list all the white nationalists?
00:32:12.000I mean, actually, I shouldn't say that because if you're lefty, you're gonna write Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, everyone who voted for Trump.
00:32:20.000But, you know, anyone who's sort of been in media and been looking into this and sees names come up,
00:32:28.000Oh, and another thing John Lott was talking about with the mass killers, when they do purport to have a political agenda, you look at their canon, you know, their legacy, their work, there's nothing there.
00:32:40.000Like, the Dylann Roof had a manifesto.
00:38:57.000Then he goes to sleep dreaming of Zieg Heiling and dreaming of his fourth Reich and his new World War III army.
00:39:03.000And then the next day he spews anti-Semitism until someone goes to a synagogue and kills 11 people.
00:39:09.000That is the level of insanity we're dealing with here.
00:39:14.000And it's kind of good for me in a way, because when people call me a Nazi, I assume sane people have heard rhetoric like this and they go, yeah, that word.
00:39:24.000Even my lawyer, I was like, okay, let's sue this person.
00:39:27.000And he goes, dude, this is getting harder for me because they're bastardizing the word so much.
00:39:36.000White nationalist means overtly patriotic.
00:39:41.000And anti-Semite, that can include Israelis now.
00:39:46.000I mean, speaking of Alan Dershowitz, when he last did a talk at, I think it was NYU, they put up flyers with him with a swastika on his head.
00:40:42.000And I bet you anything the ratings slow down.
00:40:45.000You know, this stuff isn't happening for no reason.
00:40:49.000They talk real policy and have discussed real issues and talk about sane stuff like we're probably, the Dems are probably not going to get the Senate.
00:40:58.000They have a hope of getting the house.
00:41:23.000And it's just so alarmingly illogical, I hope.
00:41:28.000You know, Nancy, as I said, and Nancy Pelosi promises that these lies and this fake propaganda will slow down, quote unquote, after we win.
00:41:38.000It probably gets kind of addictive to make everyone into a Nazi.
00:41:42.000And I was listening to this radio show this morning.
00:41:45.000I hope I haven't said this to you before, but let's just take a step back and see if they've normalized this sort of level of racism and said it's everywhere.
00:43:34.000There was Sesame Street characters walking around, Big Bert was there, so it was like Pebbles or something, and it was a co-thing with Sesame Street, so your poor bastards must have been boiling hot in those suits.
00:43:45.000But you'd just be sitting down and Ernie would just come and sit with you.
00:43:53.000And this 20-year-old shows up, and he's kind of weird-looking.
00:43:56.000For example, he has a tattoo that is a one-inch black stripe that goes from his butt crack up his back, up the back of his neck, and ends at his hairline on the front of his head in a point.
00:44:09.000Basically a bad guy from a Batman movie.
00:44:12.000Now, I've got a lot of weird tattoos, so...
00:44:15.000I'm not gonna totally judge you, but, um, very unusual skin art there, my friend.
00:44:22.000And, uh, I overheard, like, I started asking questions about him.
00:44:26.000And what really annoyed me, too, is the other dads, they didn't seem to care.
00:44:29.000They're like, yeah, that guy looks like he might be a pedophile.
00:45:37.000I go, I don't understand why you wouldn't, like, if it was me and I was your age, and I pulled into the Sesame Street Resort, I would say, TAXI!
00:45:45.000And I'd get back in the taxi and head the fuck out of there.
00:45:49.000Like, why would you set up your room with your little toothbrush and everything?
00:45:52.000So we keep getting at it, getting at it, and then we start fighting.
00:45:57.000And I just, by the end, we were screaming at each other.
00:45:59.000It wasn't physical, but it was yelling.
00:46:50.000Even Jeffrey Dahmer, they were doing a documentary on him and he found out about it and he contacted the documentarians and he said, I just want to be clear here that I ate mostly black people because I lived in a black neighborhood.
00:48:45.000Like, this is the other example I always use.
00:48:49.000I've probably used it with you before, but I'm making this sort of the definitive political podcast, and I'll drop these subjects for a while at least.
00:49:34.000Even if it's old, even if the sandwich has been sitting around, I'd way rather have a sandwich that was toasted, and at least maybe has a semblance of a crunch, than some soggy, wet, like the way the bread sort of molds around everything else, because it's like this sock.
00:50:34.000I mean, we're at the point now where they're saying, yeah, no, lots of people, like two of the guys that were arrested on October 12th, they have black wives and black kids.
00:51:27.000And then she's like, God, I wish you white Europeans never came here.
00:51:31.000They're beady-eyed, staring at each other as they eat Cheerios.
00:51:36.000There's even a thing I saw that the left is pushing out, multiracial white supremacy.
00:51:42.000The fact that that phrase can exist on the planet Earth boggles... It's like saying, yeah, the Ku Klux Klan is bringing a lot of black members because it makes them look less racist.
00:51:52.000Well, yeah, they are less racist if they have black members.
00:51:55.000I mean, that's the end of the Klan, is it not?
00:52:00.000Okay, well then they're a different group.
00:52:02.000It's like saying McDonald's has stopped selling hamburgers and fries and they're just selling fried chicken now because they want to seem more like KFC and less like McDonald's.
00:52:11.000Yeah, they are more like KFC and less like McDonald's now.
00:52:25.000I mean, if they're willing to use all these illegal aliens as collateral damage and risk their lives for a photo-op, then they certainly don't care about you, and if you're a Nazi, and when you get fired, and what the truth is, and if you're married.
00:52:36.000It's not like when they find out the guy's married to a black woman and has black kids, they go, oh shit, sorry.
00:52:47.000You're not winning the Senate, and even if Republicans lose the Hou- You understand, like, right now, there's so many GOP never-Trumpers that hate Trump.
